Does the front LED allow you to choose any color (like the Nexus 4, Galaxy Nexus, etc)?
Does the rear LED allow this too?
Do apps like Light Flow allow you to properly set different colors for different apps? Can you use both front AND rear LED's? Thanks!

I can only speak for stock:
You cannot choose the colors for each event, but you can choose which event you want to blink. The colors for each are preset, most are green.
The rear seems to be one color, but only works for:
Incoming Call
Alarm
Ongoing Call
I believe Light Manager (nonRoot) allows you to change the colors to anything you want (on the front). The back I believe is only hyper white. It has a very nice looking pulse to it. I believe people trying light flow could not get the app to detect the rear LED. Someone else can confirm.
using light flow i got the rear led to light up but it does not flash like the front so like when you get a message the front led is flashing and the rear led stays lit up and its only color is the hyper white
Front is full RGB color. Back is just white. You cannot globally change the color for specific notification types. You can however change the color for notifications from specific contacts to colors like purple, yellow and pink (and more). It boggles my mind though that you can't change the color globally. Hopefully a custom ROM will add that.

Light flow should do the trick.

Some have reported inconsistent results with Lightflow. Also, I'm a battery nut and hate having extra apps running for such specific things like controlling the LED, not to mention a persistent Lightflow notification when it's running gets under my skin. Yeah I've got a bit of OCD when it comes to my gadgets heh.

Light Manager is working 100% accurate for me. And I'm not even rooted yet.

Can anyone confirm that the rear LED flashes only once then stops? I couldn't find a setting to make it flash more than once.

This is working perfectly for me as well. you have to disable the built in notifications in settings but after that it works like a charm. No constant notification and no battery hog
For the time being looks like Light Manager is the answer.
For a few versions now the custom ROMs for my Gnex have had their own LED notification setup built in. You can set any color for any installed app, and it was always ultra reliable. So once the development really kicks in for the G2, I dont think we'll need any external app for it anymore.
This is all good info. I don't like stock SMS apps because I have more options with third party like GoSMS but sadly I couldn't get it to access the notification light. Very weird considering every other phone I've owned had no issues there.

How you set the Light Flow to use the Rear LED in way you describe?
Front LED works perfect on my LG G2, but i can't set the rear to light up using Light Flow.

Bump, light flow detects other LED's which one is the back one?

This; I'd like to twiddle the rear LED too, although I know it's limited.
Also, has anyone gotten the Camera Flash to work? So far I haven't gotten it to work, but the front LED is working fine.
Can anyone please tell me how to configure rear LED in Lightflow ?
I am not saying step by step but please tell briefly. Thanks
Backlight control on the LG G2 (root users only) with their dynamic file paths. Select button-backlight1 and button-backlight2 in the settings menu to enable each part of it

Dear guys;
I own a Galaxy Note 4 which is no longer under warranty and I've just spotted that some LEDs in a row have got dim. Actually, to check the led lights I put my phone's screen under the microscope and just figured out that the problem is with the blue LEDs (some blue LEDs were producing less light there and the other LEDs were OK). I also checked whether it was for an effect or something but actually it was not. Actually all i found about the case on the web was about the dead LEDs (but my LEDs were still working) and I didn't find anything useful.
I'd REALLY appreciate it if you guys give me a solution to the problem because it's REALLY annoying. so thank you in advance
I wish you all the best
Maybe burned-in effect? On my Note where is the notification bar the screen is brighter (when bar is hidden). This week I will send it to the repair (mine is still under warranty)

So far I hard reset my phone 2x to get it working because my 2nd screen won't stay on after main screen is off. I do even get notifications. I have the settings to stay on. .. not sure what's going in with phone...even my quick charging stopped working. Miss my note 4

Mine goes off if the phone isn't being used. I think it's normal.

Make sure you're not covering the ambient light sensor on your phone. It's right in the upper left hand corner next to the front camera. (To test, with the main screen off and second screen on, If you cover the sensor with your finger on a normally working V20, after a few seconds the second screen should shut off.)
So my guess is if you're sure your Settings are set up correctly, you probably have a faulty or miscalibrated ambient light sensor on your device that's shutting the second screen off, and you should either find a way to re-calibrate the sensor or get your device replaced.

The time should stay on and the notifications should stay on to tell u that you have a message.

There are options under settings display to control when the second screens stays on/off. I have mine in all the time.
under the second screen settings, under settings, display look at the "more" be sure it's UN checked

Same here, what's latest update?
Hi man, I've been searching thru forums all day. Basically, I have the same issues, 1. Not fast charging (only usb-charging) 2. Second screen off when screen is off (despite the settings are set not to)
I'm on the edge of hard factory reset with very limited hopes and my ultimate guess is this is a motherboard issue.
Have you been able to fix yours?
Second screen stays off.!
Yesterday, I was working to upgrade the apps, and install some missing bloated apps by LG Electronics ltd. through the web server, i.e. apkmirror and I don't know exactly what happened. My LG V20 (LS997) Second screen stays off just apparently showing with dark ambient display that is useless at all. The display only shows with media contents by setting up with 'More' as well, and not work even all.
Fixed!! I had the same problem when every time I enabled second screen it would disappear. After looking everywhere I was able to fix it by going to the battery saver settings and pressing on the 'battery saver' option under 'power saving'. Then press 'edit mode'. Make sure 'block use of second screen' is unchecked. That should stop it from being disabled.
DEAR ALL
still facing red tint issue even after fix update what to do?
please guide me.
There's no other solution if you've moved the red-tint slider down to minimal and you still have too much red tint. Either you exchange it or try to live with it. Cmiiw
You're one of few, like me, and have to live with it yes.
My adaptive is reasonable, bit strange with such an expensive device to call it that. But my amoled modes are as pink as they were on day 1.
I don't find any other news about any more fixes either. So samsung probably thinks everybody is enjoying their fantastic looking s8 and + versions.
Ps. You could bring it to samsung repair and let them recalibrate or repair your screen.
did you try???

yes bro tried everything but still there
The red is so annoying I agree, when I bought my S8 earlier this month the display was fine up until last week when it suddenly started turning red after sunset and the red lasts until sunrise!! I have tried all the possible adjustments with no result in all display modes and modifications. The red is so annoying to live with. At night when I change the phone time to am, it goes back to the regular display and all is well until sunset. I tried it in different timezones, it also adapts the black timing to the local sunset time! I haven't read/heard/seen anyone face this problem., am I the only one?
That thing is what you call night mode or Blue light filter you can turn it off
Mine looks pretty good on adaptive, but on other modes it's a bit reddish. I really wish Samsung released the sliders on the other modes too.

Hey thanks but I forgot to mention that:
- the red screen comes up even if the blue light filter is switched off
- the red screen shows up in all displays (Adaptive -even if the red is reduced to a minimum in the Advanced options , AMOLED cinema, AMOLED photo and basic modes)
- the red from the red screen is different from the nightmode's yellow-ish colour.
I am not sure if the warranty covers it. but I will speak to Samsung customer service and see if anyone has faced this before
after adjusting the RGBs and the display edge adjuster, the top of my display still appears slightly red..as though there is a reddish band at the top.. anyone?
For some reason the notification LED doesn't function on my XL2. I installed LED Blinker Pro and it works like a charm. Just thought I would share incase anyone else is having this issue.
Settings, apps and notifications, notifications, blink light. It's off by default.
Now go get lightflow and go nuts.

I did that and it still didn't work. That app solved the problem though.
Have you used light manager? And if so which do you like better. Im using Light Manager but that app you showed looks more polished.
Also have you noticed this time around the phone has trouble making some colors. Like yellow looks kinda yellow/green and white is kinda blue/white
Light Flow works. But it seems that the built-in notification light triggers first overriding Light Flow. For example, if I get a text message (fast blue blinking light set in Light Flow), I get the slow, white stock notification. If I unlock and then immediately re-lock the phone Light Flow kicks in with the set blink/color settings. I've tried to disable the stock light notification, but if I do Light Flow won't work at all.

Light Flow didn't work well for me.
So is this just a software issue that could be addressed by Google in the future?

My 6p was the same way when I first got it.... But once they built in led notification into the settings of the roms I then got more cookies and very crisp distinct colors too..... Im sure the custom roms and kernel will fix this and the OLED panel color issues
Light Flow works perfectly for me.
Enable the light in system settings.
Disable it when there is an option in specific apps.
Make sure it has the right permissions.

I installed the New Pixel 2 XL Launcher on my OG Pixel XL. My light stopped after installing, so I had to go to the launcher settings (long press blank area on home screen, Home settings, Notification Dots, Blink Light) and turn on the light in there to get it going again.

Yep, that's how you get the LED to work. It's really wonky and idk why they buried the setting in that spot.
